MONTREAL – Dustin Tokarski played fewer games this year than he ever has in his career, but he’s never learned more than he did in 2014-15.
After sliding between the pipes as a surprise replacement for injured starter Carey Price last spring, Dustin Tokarski parlayed his 2014 playoff performance into a permanent job with the Canadiens in the fall. Having previously won at every level he had ever played, the 25-year-old netminder was forced to adjust to a new role in Montreal – one that saw him perched on a stool next to the players’ bench in a Habs cap for over 80 percent of the team’s games.
